1967 Ford Custom 500

From Reid Cunningham: "This one was near Allegheny, PA. It had dual exhausts so a V8. A classic design, still looks good today."  Ford's sleeper? The lowly Custom was a usually stripper, as I recall. Plainjanes are the best.

1970 Toyota Corona 1900

Back in 1970, the start of a decade when Japan--remember Japan?--was supposed to take over the world economy. They certainly did take and still hold the market for four-door sedans--a dying breed--in the US. I have very fond memories of a Mazda 808 wagon that took me to several coasts and back before it died of rust. The word was, the Japanese steel used by automakers didn't hold up, and I guess that's why Toyotas, Datsuns and Hondas of the era are a rare sight these days.

That was Nick Alexander's amazing collection of Woodies, in LA. Now dispersed.

1938 Plymouth Road King

Alex Emond saw the car for sale in Hemmings.  The traveling salesmen's car. "Have samples, will travel."

 It's not a knife, or a watch, it's a Swiss Army truck. Sixties vintage. Lives in Maine. Tough unit.

Lipstick on a Chevrolet 3100

I'm not going to say "lipstick on a pig", because it isn't, but it should be against the law to put white sidewalls on a truck like this. Up for auction today on B-A-T.

1964 Pontiac Parisienne convertible

Sabrina Reeves saw le Pontiac à Montréal. Our friend Adam (of Food Shark fame) has US edition, a Bonneville, in Marfa, Texas. Montreal's in the middle of its own Big Dig, a rebuiliding of the city's bridge and highway infrastructure. Here's some Quebecois humor on that subject, hostie.

Trabant convertible

Guido Goluke spotted this beauty in Mecklenburg, Germany. Anoher Trabi post here.
